Young Can-Do Designer

Storm Delaney, a 16-year-old fashion designer from Darwin, uses almost entirely recycled materials such as aluminium cans, to make outfits that would not be out of place on an avant-garde runway.

“The vest and sleeves are joined together, all made out of the tops of cans,” the high school pupil says of a bolero she designed using 1000 ring pulls. Much of the materials for her designs may have otherwise ended up in landfill.
